The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 755: Chapter 755 Dao Emperor Realm Peak

About thirty family forces present at the scene decided on the spot to join the Glory Alliance, roughly half of them.

The remaining forces, although equally covetous of the Longevity Pill, were indecisive. Whether to join the Glory Alliance or not would still require a high-level family meeting.

They all understood that once they signed the alliance agreement, they would never be able to betray Jing Yan in his battle against the Gai Family. If they did, their fate would certainly be miserable, and they didn’t have the audacity of the Seven Great Families to challenge the Holy Master.

And Jing Yan was quite satisfied with this.

Good things come to those who wait, and he believed that more and more family forces would join the Glory Alliance in the future.

For those family forces that did join the Glory Alliance, Jing Yan planned to split them into two groups. Those willing to join his chariot and battle the Gai Family would be core member forces, while those not willing would be ordinary member forces.

Obviously, the treatment of core members would be vastly different from that of ordinary members. Core members were considered one’s own people, and Jing Yan did not mind making his own people stronger.

After everyone dispersed, Jing Yan specifically summoned Yan Chao and Wan Zhonghua to communicate his intentions.

”Alliance Leader Jing Yan, my Wan Family will heed your commands. If it comes to a battle with the Gai Family, although my Wan Family is comparably weak in martial strength, we still have a substantial number of Daoist and Daoist King realm practitioners. Moreover, I personally am willing to lead the charge for Alliance Leader Jing Yan,” declared Wan Zhonghua firmly.

The Wan Family, being an Alchemy Dao family, indeed possessed only ordinary martial capabilities, probably even weaker than the Yan Family in terms of martial prowess.

It couldn’t be helped; although an Alchemy Dao family also trained combat martial artists, it certainly was not on the same level as a Martial Arts family.

”Brother Wan, your words are more than enough. I understand that the Wan Family, being an Alchemy Dao family, is not adept in combat. Even if we go to war with the Gai Family, I will not let the pill masters of the Wan Family charge into battle,” Jing Yan expressed his satisfaction with Wan Zhonghua’s attitude.

”Alliance Leader Jing Yan, I won’t say more. Just one thing: Yan Family and Splendid Dojo will share a common fate,” said Yan Chao.

”Good! Very good!”

”I also have some Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills here. I’ll give each of you some now. Both of you are Dao Emperor Realm practitioners, and this elixir might help you advance further in martial arts.” Jing Yan handed out a few elixirs, with each man receiving three pills.

Taking the elixirs, their faces flushed with excitement. Even Wan Zhonghua, who wanted to grow stronger in martial arts, who didn’t crave powerful strength?

”There’s another matter I need you two to handle. Communicate secretly with the other family forces that have joined the alliance, and see if there are any with the same ambitions as you that can be absorbed into the core member ranks,” Jing Yan assigned them.

”That shouldn’t be a problem at all,” both replied.

With the establishment of the Glory Alliance, Jing Yan became the Alliance Hierarch. Within the alliance, people referred to Jing Yan as the Alliance Leader, not as the Holy Hall Master.

For several consecutive days, Jing Yan was stationed at the Splendid Dojo. Although he didn’t handle specific tasks, he couldn’t completely relinquish control either.

One day, Chang Huan returned from abroad and entered the Splendid Dojo to assist in investigating the identities of loose cultivator Dao King realm and Dao Emperor realm practitioners who joined the Splendid Dojo.

At the same time, Holy Master Shen Chong sent a messenger requesting Jing Yan to visit the Holy Palace.

Inside the Holy Palace.

”I pay my respects to Holy Master!” Jing Yan bowed respectfully.

”There’s no need for formalities, Hall Master Jing Yan,” dismissed Shen Chong with a wave of his hand, his expression serious. ”I called you here today because there’s something you need to know.”

Jing Yan, seeing Shen Chong’s solemn expression, listened attentively.

”This is about your father, Jing Lunnan,” Shen Chong stated.

”Oh?” Jing Yan’s heart stirred, and his gaze sharpened as he looked at Shen Chong.

”I have known for a long time that your father was imprisoned in East Pass County, but I didn’t know the exact location. This time, I sent Chang Huan to investigate in East Pass County undercover, and I finally have some leads,” continued Shen Chong.

Jing Yan didn’t speak, waiting for the Holy Master to continue.

Jing Yan was anxious to build private troops and create his own power, aimed at dealing with the Gai Family. But the main reason for the rush was his father.

As a son, how could he remain indifferent to his own father’s suffering?

It could be said that Jing Yan constantly thought about rescuing his father, but he also knew that just being anxious wasn’t of any help. The more this matter affected his state of mind, the more detrimental it would be to himself.

”Your father, Jing Lunnan, is imprisoned in...” Shen Chong took out a beast skin map, which was a map of East Pass County, and then informed Jing Yan of the specific location where Jing Lunnan was held.

”Thank you, Holy Master!” Jing Yan sincerely gave thanks.

”Hall Master Jing Yan, what do you plan to do?” the Holy Master looked up at Jing Yan.

”Going to war with the Gai Family, I must first rescue my father; otherwise, if the Gai Family uses my father as leverage against me, I will be in a passive position. I plan to go to East Pass County myself and rescue my father,” Jing Yan mused.

”Yes, your idea is correct! However, you should also consider that the Gai Family’s imprisonment of your father is likely protected by various formations. If you can’t rescue your father swiftly, the result might be unfavorable for you,” advised Shen Chong.

Jing Yan understood Shen Chong’s words. To rescue his father, he had to act as quickly as possible, before the upper echelons of the Gai Family could fully react. Otherwise, the situation could become uncontrollable.

”I understand. I will make preparations before heading to East Pass County,” Jing Yan nodded.

After bidding farewell to Shen Chong, Jing Yan didn’t return to the Splendid Dojo but went to his own residence instead, instructed the guards that no visitors were to be seen in the upcoming period, and then entered the underground secret chamber.

He was going to enter seclusion again!

He still had one of the two Heavenly Repairing Pills he had refined.

Based on the effects of the previous Heavenly Repairing Pill, Jing Yan felt that this second pill should be able to help him reach the Peak of the Dao Emperor Realm.

And advancing to the Peak of the Dao Emperor Realm would obviously be more advantageous for rescuing his father, and provide a greater assurance.

Within the secret chamber, Jing Yan took out the second Heavenly Repairing Pill and also brought out a large number of top-grade Spirit Stones and some Divine Crystals.

”Let’s begin!”

”Breakthrough!”

First, he absorbed the Divine Crystals and top-grade Spirit Stones to adjust his state, and after several days, Jing Yan then consumed the Heavenly Repairing Pill.

This seclusion was swiftly over a month’s time.

On this day!

”Pu pu pu!”

”Hiss hiss!”

The seated Jing Yan radiated a hazy purple aura. This purple aura, identical to that swirling around the Fog Vortex enveloping Jing Yan, this time, even spread around hisbody.

If someone were in the secret chamber at this moment, they would feel the seemingly calm purple aura brimming with devastatingly powerful energy.
